To inspect scan plane rotation
Inspect the scan plane rotation on the transducer after taking it out of the box and before each exam.
1 Connect the TEExi transducer to the ultrasound system.
2 Without inserting the transducer, place a small amount of sterile gel on the transducer, and then turn up
the gain to obtain an image.
3 Press the scan plane control buttons on the handle to rotate the scan plane counterclockwise (0° to 180°)
and clockwise (180° to 0°). See
Figure 2-7 on page 2-9.
4 Confirm that the image on-screen changes in relation to the numbers on the scan plane indicator. See
Figure 2-8 on page 2-10.
While you press the scan plane rotation buttons, the transducer motor should be running as the image is
changing.
Note Do not rely only on the scan plane indicator on-screen to verify that the scan
plane is rotating.
